Abstract (in English)

In this article, the author will argue that development
of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta nomination dossier involved
collaborations between multiple actors, involved the recognition of indigenous knowledge systems, and resulted in the co-creation of hybrid mapping representations. This empirical research examines data sources like World Heritage
dossiers and state/UNESCO correspondence letters held at the UNESCO World Heritage Centre archives in Paris,France and cultural site dossiers archived at the International
Council on Memorials and Sites (ICOMOS) in Charenton-le-Pont,
France. Actor-network theory informs this research and will act as a heuristic tool for collection, organizing, and
analyzing the archival documents. A framework called
postcolonial centers of calculation will be introduced to
untangle technoscientific processes associated with World
Heritage nomination documents. A case study of the Uluru-
Kata Tjuta nomination dossier reveals historical cycles of
accumulation geographic information around Uluru-Kata Tjuta, a strong network of indigenous and state collaborations, and the creation of hybrid geographic representations. The discussion and conclusion section relate this research to sustainability science and indigenous geographies, and suggest future research directions.
